In sir Gawain and the Green Knight, I think that Sir Gawain is more chivalrous.

He means what he says when he makes a deal with someone, even when it means putting his own life at risk to go through on the contract. Sir Gawain's fear are often brought to light in this story, but Gawain’s diligence to maintain integrity enables him to persevere in his jounrey to face the Green Knight. "His guide urges him not to proceed, but Gawain feels that it would be dishonorable not to fulfil
